SAFETY - Standard Seat Safety Restraint Belt Twisted properly use the seat belts and bunk restraint in the vehicle. DO NOT strap in more than one person with each belt.

Any belts or restraints that have been subjected to an accident should be inspected for any loose (attaching) hardware or damaged buckles. If belts show damage to any part of assembly, such as webbing, bindings, buckles or retractors, they must be replaced.
DO NOT allow safety belts (seat or bunk) to become damaged by getting caught in door, bunk, or seat hardware, or rubbing against sharp objects. All belts must be kept clean or the retractors may not work properly. 1 During Pregnancy Pregnant women should always wear combination lap/shoulder belts. The lap belt portion must be worn snugly and as low as possible across the pelvis. To avoid pressure on the abdomen, the belt must never pass over the waist. A properly worn seat belt may significantly reduce the risks to woman and baby in the event of a crash.
